In the duel between two top teams, the Philadelphia 76ers have the edge over the Denver Nuggets. The 76ers could once again rely on their superstar Joel Embiid.
The Philadelphia 76ers have won the top game of the North American professional league NBA against the Denver Nuggets. On Saturday (01/28/2023) the 76ers celebrated a 126:119 win against the Denver Nuggets.
The guests from Denver, with Nikola Jokic, had been in the lead until the final quarter. But then Philadelphia was able to rely on Joel Embiid, who ended up being the top scorer of the game with 47 points. With seven points in a row, Embiid turned the game into a 115:110 lead for the hosts just under five minutes before the end.
